Feeding seaweed sheets

[HefeWeizen]

I rubber band a 4"x4" piece , folded four times, to a piece of 1" diameter PVC pipe. I use fishing line to lower and lift the pipe in/out of the water. I prefer this because my kole tang scrapes the seaweed off a flat surface and doesn't like pulling pieces off of a clip. The regal and the yellow could care less.

IMO, the Omega one seaweed is crap. I used it once (Still have almost a whole pack of it in the cupboard) and I had pieces of it everywhere in the tank. Fish literally swim by it and it flakes apart. Doesn't matter what you attach it with. I'd get a different type. The Emerald Cove (Comes in a greenish bag) is a non-toasted, dried reddish seaweed that is excellent. When it does break apart, it's because a fish tore off a large piece and didn't eat it all.

No mess.

That's what I do. I find folding it keeps the fish from shredding the seaweed.

I own 2 of the Gourmet Grazers for my freshwater tanks and I love them!

DIY. I stuff meaty goodies inside my nori rolls too

I try to feed my tank nori sheets or pieces... but no one touches it but the crabs?!

[JMorris271]

That looks really cool but I am just wondering how does this keep the torn buts from floating everywhere?

[karimwassef]

The harder they have to work to get to the nori, the more they care about holding on to it. If a piece does fly off, the fish scamper to grab it vs. ignoring it to get at the big section.

If you have 1/4" netting and some zip ties and a magnet you can make your own

You found a price for these things? Bravo. All I found were bloviated ad-speak nonsense about this and other products.

But I mean that in the most positive sense.

IMO, best way to feed nori is to split it among 4-5 different clips to make sure all the herbs have a chance for a munch.

Two Little Fishes mag rusted in my tank

Hi...I have 3 of the innovative marine algae grazers...I love them...no more seaweed floating around the tank....

+1 on the grazer. WAY better than the clip, and the nori lasts much longer. I tried making my own, and it worked fine, it just didn't look so nice. My fish freaked a little at first also, but soon my Tang, and Wrasses took right to it. I didn't love the omega either, it just made a mess, and half of it ended up in my filter.
I started buying nori from the LFS until I saw he was just repackaging a larger bag from an Asian grocery. I bought the same amount for $2 instead of ten, and I figure I made up the cost of the grazer.

[karimwassef]

Get the nori from Amazon! Even cheaper.

Make a plastic cage for $1.50 and glue a clip to any magnet you're already using.

I have DIY nori feeder. I used a piece of acrylic and have a clip attached at the bottom with a zip tie. At the top I have a plastic 'U' that slides over the edge of the tank. I then fold the sheet until it is a 1x1 square and place it in the clip. Not messy at all.

Thanks for suggesting alternatives to clips.
